What is piQ

piQ is an android application developed by Akasoft. It allows its users to post and answer questions. Users
are invited to take pictures of objects and things that they come accross or see in their everyday life but do not know what the object is or what it is used for.

For example, a user can take a picture of a tree and ask, what type of tree is this? Other users of the app can then reply to the question with their answers. Answers can be voted by other users either up or down, the top rated answers are then shown on the top of the answers list. This is similar to the mechanism Reddit employs in their comment system to siv out the good answers from the bad.

Users can post pictures of almost anything they wish from "what is this bug called?" to "how is this tool used"

In summary piQ is a question answer app powered by its users. It makes asking question very simple and quick.

The app can be downloaded from the Google Play
